Terms of service.

The Archive Pass is run by Leandro Miguel Vasconcelos Antunes, a sole trader (empresário em nome individual) based in Lisbon, Portugal, with tax number (NIF) 275828476. Whenever you read "we", "us" or "The Archive Pass" here, that is the person we mean.

You can reach us at any time at support@thearchivepass.com. That is where we handle everything: questions, cancellations, refunds and any problem.

By creating an account or paying for a membership, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with some part of them, do not subscribe.

They work alongside our Privacy policy and our Refund policy, which are part of the same agreement, and the answers in our FAQ. If something here ever clashes with those pages, tell us and we will fix it.

The Archive Pass is a membership for the Lisbon night. It is not a promoter list and it is not a ticket to an event. As a member you may get perks at partner venues: a welcome drink, free or easier entry, skip-the-line, a discount, or a guest-list spot.

The perks change from night to night and are not guaranteed. We say what applies before each night, on the night page. What is on offer at one venue may not be on offer at another. Being a member does not guarantee entry on any specific night.

Partner venues keep full control of their own doors: capacity, safety, age checks (18+), dress code and house rules. The Archive Pass cannot override a venue decision or the law.

A venue can refuse entry for those reasons, and that on its own is not a fault on our side. What happens inside a venue is the venue's responsibility.

If a perk we listed for a night was not honoured, that is different, and our Refund policy covers it.

You must be 18 or over to be a member, because partner venues are 18+. The venues do age checks at the door and the membership does not replace that. If you cannot prove your age, a venue can refuse entry, and that on its own does not give a right to a refund of the subscription.

The pass is personal and non-transferable. It is yours and only yours. You may not share, lend, sell, resell or forward your pass or QR code. Doing so can end your membership.

To use the pass you need an account. Keep your details correct and up to date, and do not share your access with anyone.

Your pass lives in your account (it is the QR you show at the door). You are responsible for what happens through your account. The name on a guest-list booking has to match your member name, so keep your details right. If you think someone else has accessed your account, tell us.

The membership is a monthly subscription. The founding price is 19,99€/month for the first 100 members, locked for life while the membership stays active. After the first 100, the public price is 39,99€/month. Paid memberships open on 29 June 2026.

The price that applies to you, what it includes, and the fact that it renews on its own are shown on the checkout page before you pay, and you confirm them there. Prices include the taxes that apply.

Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details are entered with and handled by Stripe. The Archive Pass never sees or stores your full card number. By subscribing, you authorise the first charge and the recurring monthly charge.

The subscription renews automatically at the start of each cycle, on the registered card, until you cancel. If a payment fails, we may retry it and may pause access until it goes through.

If the price changes before a renewal that affects you, we will let you know in advance, and you can cancel before the change takes effect.

You can cancel any time, from your account settings or by emailing us at support@thearchivepass.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the cycle you have already paid for, so you keep access until then and we do not bill the next cycle.

We ask you to give the membership one full first cycle before cancelling, so you have a fair chance to see what is inside. That is a request, not a rule, and it never affects your first 14 days: in those 14 days you can cancel for a full refund (see below).

You have 14 days from the day you subscribe to change your mind. If you cancel within those 14 days, we refund you in full, no reason needed. This is your right under Portuguese law (livre resolução, DL 24/2014), and we keep it simple.

Just email support@thearchivepass.com within the 14 days saying you want to cancel and be refunded. We confirm and return the money to your original payment method.

After the 14 days, you can still cancel any time from your account settings or by emailing us, and you keep access until the end of the cycle you have already paid for.

You reserve a guest-list spot for an available night in the app, and it is only valid once we or the partner confirm it. If you cannot make it, cancel as soon as you know, and as a base rule at least 3 hours before the event.

A no-show only counts when you took a guest-list spot and did not show or cancel in time. Staying home is always fine, it never counts. The first time, it is a friendly heads-up. The second time, your guest-list access is paused for a bit. After that, we talk by email and the membership may end.

If you have a real emergency, talk to us. We can review exceptional cases when there is genuine context and you let us know in time. We expect you to treat venue staff, other guests, residents and the street with respect.

We may suspend or end a membership for abuse. That includes sharing, lending or reselling the pass, repeated no-shows, pressuring venues, or behaviour that damages the venues, the night, staff, residents or other members.

Whenever it is fair, we will talk to you first. In clear cases of abuse, we may end it right away. If we end your membership for abuse, there is no refund of the cycles you have already used. Your right to complain stays intact.

Refunds are handled case by case, mainly for technical errors, wrong charges, or clear faults on our side. In those cases we return what is due. These are separate from your withdrawal right above.

If a perk we listed for a night was not honoured, email us within 48 hours with the night, the venue and what happened, and we aim to review within 72 hours. Outside these cases, see the cancellation rule and the right of withdrawal above. The full detail is on our Refund policy page.

A venue refusing entry for safety, capacity, age checks, behaviour or house rules is not, on its own, a reason for a refund.

We do our best to run The Archive Pass well and to make the perks we announce happen, but we do not control what goes on inside a partner venue and we are not the organiser of the night. We cannot guarantee entry to a venue, a specific perk, or how your night turns out, because a lot of that depends on the venues and on things outside our reasonable control.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for a venue decision (refusing entry, capacity, safety, dress code, age, closing the night) or for what happens inside a venue, which is the venue's responsibility.

Nothing in these terms limits the liability that the law does not allow us to limit, and nothing here removes the rights you have as a consumer under Portuguese law.

The Archive Pass is early and will change. We can add, change or drop partner venues and perks.

We can update these terms, for example when we change the service or when the law changes. When we do, we update the date at the top of this page. If a change matters to you as a paying member, we will let you know in advance, by email or in the app, and we will say from when it applies. If you do not agree, you can cancel before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new version.

If something went wrong, talk to us first at support@thearchivepass.com.

You also have the right to use the electronic complaints book (Livro de Reclamações eletrónico) at https://www.livroreclamacoes.pt/.

If we have a disagreement and cannot sort it out between us, as a consumer you can take the dispute to a consumer arbitration entity (RAL).

Competent entity: CNIACC, Centro Nacional de Informação e Arbitragem de Conflitos de Consumo, at Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Campus de Campolide, 1099-032 Lisboa. Website: https://www.cniacc.pt. You can also find the full official list of entities at https://www.consumidor.gov.pt.

Using a dispute-resolution entity is voluntary and does not take away your right to go to court.

These terms are governed by Portuguese law.

If you are a consumer living in another country of the European Union, you keep the protection that the mandatory rules of your country of residence give you. This clause does not take those rights away.

Questions about these terms, your account, or a charge: support@thearchivepass.com. We are a small team, but we answer.
